What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:-  Asato Hiroki
Chairman's Secretary - Ohayou Productions
The world has....changed
Hiroki felt a bit more at ease as Katsumi wheeled him out to the car. At least he didn't look terrible according to the younger man. "Ok...I'll call him in the car." he said with a smile. Kaito at least hadn't changed at all and was easier to talk to lately than Katsumi because he knew what to expect. "He won't be lonely for long with you being home."
"Oh...yes, you were calling me on that weren't you?" He said in regard to the tablet as he crawled into the car. But then he laughed as he pulled out his phone, "Good looking? My...my...he's older than me and well...decent looking I suppose but certainly not my type. He's very straight and proper. And...married. I think. Well the man doesn't talk much about his family. He's strict and business only. But he's been with the Koyasu family as long as I can remember. Like a fixture. So don't be jealous. Once you meet him you'll probably agree with my evaluation."
After he answered Katsumi's question, he called up Kaito and talked to him for a few minutes planning out the bags and just general chit chat. Sounded like the young man was exceedingly busy at work so he kept things short.
When they finally reached the gate of the Estate, Hiroki smiled and gestured, "That's my home now...what do you think?"

"Well most people don't take the black ones. At least it's harder to find the right owners. But Hiroki-san fell in love with the little guy right away. His friend...mm..Kaito-kun. Was extremely excited. I think he's going to come back for his own kitten one day too." she answered with a polite smile then watched them go into the cat house.
"Oh my, they are bigger...look at all of them!" Izzy voice was absolutely gleeful as he knelt down and peered into the cages. "Awh!!!!" His sucker light had turned on and seriously considered the idea of 2 cats.
In the cage, several of the kittens tumbled forward and mewed for attention; nuzzling at fingers poked into the cage. One small fuzzy kitten leaped over his brothers and sisters clinging to the cage mid way up trying to get to the two men outside. He mewed loudly for attention!
There were also a couple of Siamese in the back that took things a bit slower. Moving around the other cats from the far side and then poked their noses on the cage.
"Oh...my....so many of them want our attention. They're all so adorable! I can't believe that one is clinging to the cage! Look he's striped." Izzy's fingers were everywhere trying to pet all of them. It was going to be difficult to choose with so many happy kittens facing them. "Which ones do you like?"
There were a few shyer kittens in the back. Not everyone had rushed to the front. A very long haired mixed colored kitten laid stretched out on a cat toy looking at them. So many personalities to choose from all in one place!

The trip to the estate was quick and rather quiet. Of course Katsu stole Hiroki's phone to give a few instructions to Kaito... like making sure he brought his ipad and the notebook on the bed... as well as what sorts of clothes and the electric blanket.
But other than that, the ride was pretty relaxing.
Least until they reached the house.
Azriel's eyes widened as the limo pulled through the gates. "This isn't a home... it's a palace." Katsu spoke, beyond amazed at the sheer size of the house. "How the hell do you not get lost?!"
 
Watching Izzy with the kittens was perhaps even more fun than watching the furballs themselves. Akihiko laughed as Izzy became completely absorbed in the little animals.
Lithe fingers reached out and a small siamese kitten from the back of the cage crawled forward and licked that finger. Narcissus smirked slightly, "These are smaller than the others... but that little tiger one... he's awfully cute. Why not get two? Then they can play together."
After all, when the two men were away... wouldn't just one kitten get awfully lonely?

Hiroki smiled as he gazed up at his new home; the home that Aki had left him. "Yeah...it's kind of like that. Worth a fortune too...I do get lost sometimes. I've not been in all the rooms yet because I only used to come stay here every so often. But...now I actually get to explore all those spaces I never saw. And...my new office (Aki's old office) is so comfortable. It's like an old friend sort of space." Hiroki's eyes were warm as he watched them drive up to the house.
Upon stopping the driver let him out and he could see the butler waiting. "I've a guest staying with me for awhile." The older man nodded and opened the door for them to enter. The driver took care of the bags while the butler guided them inside.
"So...this is home now....I always loved this place..." said Hiroki wistfully as he looked back at Katsumi wanting to see his reaction as they went inside. A much different atmosphere from Izo's homes.

"Two?" Izzy's eyes lit up with the idea. Of course he wanted TWO! Heck if he could have taken them all home he might have. "Ok...mm..now I have to decide which one."
He laughed looking up at the small tiger demanding attention. Izzy's fingers went up and stoked the kitten and it purred, "Awh....Akihiko, he's demanding as you." His fingers started rubbing the belly of the kitten and it started to crawl down from it's height on the cage falling backwards on to the cage bottom.
"That Siamese is really trying to get your attention too. He has a very slender face. Oh look..." The long haired lazy cat started to finally get interested and flopped down walking over to put his head firmly against the cage seeking scritches. "So many of them here want our attention I can't decide!"

"He was the first who caught your eye, Ruki. Perhaps you should pick him?" Akihiko suggested as his fingers continued to rub at the siamese kitten. "I like this one... He didn't demand attention, but sought it when it was given. I wonder if the woman at the desk would let us handle them to see just how much they fit with it... and if they fit together too." he asked, walking back to the front desk.
A few moments later the woman returned with him, saying that there was a sitting area in the back of the room where they could play with the kittens. Akihiko thanked her once she opened the cages and got out both the siamese and the tiger colored furballs. Narcissus took both of the kittens and lead Izzy to where they could sit.
As he walked, the tiger colored kitten was trying to paw at the siamese, and the siamese was wrapping it's tail around Akihiko's arm and nuzzling him.
Azriel stayed close to Hiroki, wanting to make sure the man was alright walking on his own. But when he saw the inside of the house...
The bat walked up the front steps and looked around the entry hall in amazement. He'd never seen anything like this. Izo's home was nowhere near this extravagant... and while his mother's place had a few of the same sorts of furniture... this was just outrageous.
It was almost overwhelming and Katsumi had to grab onto the staircase banister just to keep from falling over as his head spun at seeing all these things that he had never imagined.
"How can you live here? It's... I feel like if I touched anything I'd break it and it'd cost a fortune to replace..." the bat spoke in amazement, sitting at the bottom of the steps.

"I've been coming in and out of this house for so many years it just seems natural. It has a rich history I think. Aki seemed to have a fine sense of elegance that he explored in this home. And...well I'm proud to have it as my own now." The Elephant of Ohayou would take care of this place a long time into the future, he thought. One day, he'd pass it on to...Akihiko or...Hideo. And let it return into Koyasu hands. At least, that is what he expected he'd do.
"Maybe we should check out my bedroom?" He slowly walked over to Katsumi and guided him that direction and into the room. "So...what do you think of this?" he asked as they went inside.

Izzy smiled a little as Akihiko suggested the very demanding tiger. Izzy was pretty sure it was a Maine Coon. Although seeing all these kittens he still was undecided. However, when Akihiko came back with the woman and she helped them get the two kittens in the room. It was hard not to want to take that tiger fluff home.
"Is he a Maine Coon?" Izzy asked as he stroke the kitten's fur.
"Yes, he actually is. He came in with the litter today. The Siamese came in the day before." she answered with a smile then left them to handle the kittens. The Maine Coon circled around Izzy's lap and started kneading him like bread. Izzy ran his hand along his back and the Maine Coon arched up into the hand suddenly rolling out la heavy deep rumble of a purr.
"He's got a huge purr box!" Izzy leaned over and gave the kitten a kiss on his head. "He reminds me of you...Is that a bad thing?

AKIHIKO
"Are you suggesting I'm a kitten?" Akihiko asked with a raised eyebrow, glancing at his partner.
At least until the Siamese started clawing it's way up his arm. Eventually the small kitten was perched comfortably on Narcissus' shoulder, one paw batting at stray strands of the musician's hair.
The young tiger laughed. "Nikki would like this one... it wants to do my hair." Akihiko teased the kitten before reaching up and plucking it from his shoulder. He held the small furball up to his face... where the Siamese proceeded to lick his nose then bat at it with one paw. "They're so small and adorable, Ruki... Here, set yours down and lets see how they get along, ne?" he asked, putting the Siamese down within the handling area, between himself and Izzy.

AZRIEL
Azriel's eyes nearly fell from his head at seeing the giant bedroom. It was almost the side of half his own house!
The walls were painted a rich cream color and the ceilings were vaulted. It had a very Victorian feel to it, though the furniture still looked like it was comfortable and well loved. There was a large bay window at one end of the room, where two tall backed comfortable chairs with foot stools rested, a tall oak table between them. The floors were hard wood with expensive rugs and the bed... the bed was a Calilfornia King with a sleigh design. Everything had an old world feel to it... and the lighting was sparse but significant.
"This is your room? Asato... it... it's gorgeous..." but then Katsumi frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. "Everyone has better bedrooms than me, damn it..."
Okay so he knew he needed to decorate properly. But this was ridiculous! You could fit a swimming pool in this bedroom!

"Yes...my room now." replied Hiroki as he slowly pulled off his suit coat and set it aside. "You just need to decorate your room and make it feel like home, Katsumi. I didn't decorate this room but...I like the look. Very pleasant and inviting. I'm looking forward to crawling on that new mattress."
The bedroom was grand...huge...giant. It had the ego of a tiger and now it housed an elephant. Not many people in Tokyo could say they had a home like this. "I can't wait to live here long enough that it really feels like mine."
He pulled out his phone and sent a text message to Akihiko.
I'm at home now. Katsumi will be staying here with me. When you have the chance can you bring the guest?
Hiroki moved out of the messages app then stared at his phone, "I let Akihiko know I was home safe. He and Lucky-san are probably at the studio working today." Then he sighed softly feeling a little tired. but he pulled up that video that had been waiting for a moment he was actually alone with Katsumi. "Before you left me for your surgery, I took a video of you. It was moments before you left me in the limo. Do you remember?"

"Oh you're too big to be a kitten but...this one's personality remind me of Y. O. U." mused Izzy as he winked at Akihiko. "That Siamese seems rather quiet. Does he purr? I was surprised you picked him out of the bunch. But he seems to like you...obviously." Izzy smiled as he watched the kitten lick Akihiko's nose. "He's a licker. Very cute."
As soon as Akihiko asked, Izzy picked up his kitten and set it on the floor and watched Akihiko do the same. Izzy's tiger sat there for a long moment licking his paw then he glanced up and noticed the Siamese. The fuzzy ball of kitten wriggled down so his butt was it the air. Very much in playful pounce mode. It took him a few seconds watching the Siamese then he shot forth...

AKIHIKO
Narcisuss rolled his eyes, "I'm hardly a cat, Ruki. I don't purr." he teased with a wink before watching the kittens.
The Siamese looked at the Coon, tilting his head to the side slightly. When the Coon pounced, the Siamese just fell over, rolling under it's pounce to bat at the Coon's tail instead.
This intrigued Akihiko because it seemed like the Siamese didn't want to fight, but it was perfectly happy teasing whereas the Coon was ready for some action.
Coming up onto it's feet, the Siamese mewed at Akihiko, batting at him with one paw before looking back at the Coon, as if to say; 'Pick me up before it jumps again'.
"Do you think they're compatible? I mean, at least they're not biting each other..." Narcissus spoke, picking up the Siamese who mewed again and licked the fingers that held him. "I like that he licks. It's cute. And with that little furball," he nodded toward the Coon. "We don't need two loud purrers... right?"
~ ~ ~
AZRIEL
Azriel walked over and sat down at the bay window, looking out over the still semi-frozen garden. The frozen silence of the outside world really did make the bat smile. Even if he hated the cold, seeing how it affected the world around him never ceased to amaze.
"Studio huh? Well then they're doing what I need to do tomorrow..." Katsumi sighed before turning his dark eyes on Hiroki. "But today I'm allllll yours, Asato-kun. I... huh? Video? I... No, I don't remember you taking a video. What is it? Can I see?" he stood again, coming to stand beside the older man and peer at the cell phone.

Chairman of Ohayou Productions
The world has....changed
Hiroki turned on the video and handed the phone to Katsumi while he walked over to a table and picked up a letter; the one Katsumi gave him that day. He returned to Katsumi as the young man was watching.
The phone's video player came to life and this is what Katsumi saw or heard:
Hiroki kept the video high enough so he wouldn't catch Katsumi fully naked. "I should have taken more photos of you before this day...just in case....But since I cannot, I just wanted to tell you, that your smile makes my heart jump...your kiss makes my day brighter...and your Kitten Furr hair...Mm...I always want that right under my chin as I hold you at night. You're beautiful....Katsumi. Aishiteru."
He took the letter with his free, "I'll keep it safe. Just in case. But...I'm certain you'll come back to me."
Katsu tilted his head to the side and smiled at the camera phone. "Good idea, Asato-kun. Kitten Fur... You better not show this to anyone you know. Plus I'm naked!" of course Azriel couldn't help but laugh softly at his partner's words. "Photos are important. But I think the real thing is better. I..." his eyes glanced to the clock.
"Who would I show?" laughed Hiroki as he paned down just a hair but never far enough to catch Katsumi's whole body, "Yes, you are naked. And an adorable naked it is." He nodded the camera so it looked like he was agreeing on video.
"s**t, Izo will be here in like ten minutes." the bat pouted. "And I wanted to crawl back in bed and cuddle... Okay okay so since you're recording me... well, No one hurt Asato-kun or Kaito-kun. Even me! Don't kick them out of the house either. They're important to me, to who I am right now. So listen up Katsu because yes I know you'll be watching this... you told Asato-kun the truth about the drugs and he still stayed with you so don't blow it. Don't drive him away because he makes you happy... you just may not remember it. Anything else important I wrote in the letter Asato-kun has and YES that's our blood on it." Katsu added with a laugh before waving the camera away and tackling Hiroki back onto the bed.
The phone fell to the side as Katsumi tacked Hiroki but he didn't have time to turn it off so words would end up on the video even as the camera pointed to the ceiling.
At this point Katsumi could here the voices but the video was pointed at his ceiling.
"Would it be too much to ask if Kaito-kun stayed with you while I'm gone? I worry about him being alone with me not here..."
"Sure...If he wants to. I mean, this is his home. He might be happier staying here...and I'm sure he has work doesn't he? But if he wants to come I'll take him to my place. I have to pack anyway to move into the estate. They won't let me stay in the modest home full time."
"Your adorable...and your nose tickles.." he giggled a little under his breath before kissing those lips, " I wish I could keep all these kisses close by...I'm going to miss you. I'll be waiting for you to come home."
I want him safe. You're high profile, Asato-kun. I want you to protect him where I can not." Azriel replied with a smile, stealing a soft kiss. "Miss me and pine for me so that when I return... you won't want to let me go for a week." the bat giggled. "But now... sadly... I have to get dressed. Just...Keep remembering this adorable me, ne? And when I come back... let's take that trip... just the two of us."
"Alright, I'll take him with me. But he might fuss. You're such a handful.....but...Aishiteru, Katsumi. I'll always remember the adorable you. My favorite part...among other things."
"Don't cry...don't cry....Asato...." said Asato as picked up his phone sucking in breath. "Oh shoot. I didn't turn this off." He clicked the button on the phone and then hit the screen.
Asato watched Katsumi's reaction. He wasn't sure how the younger man would react to the video. But he had the letter that was on the video in hand to prove it wasn't a lie. He didn't say anything right away. He wanted Katsumi to say something first.

The Maine Coon mewed Akihiko picked up the other cat. It's small paws reached up after Akihiko's hand as he pulled the Siamese away.
"Oh you do purr...sometimes." Izzy said with a raised eyebrow as he watched Akihiko pull the Siamese up and away from...his kitten. "How are you suppose to know if they are compatible if you pick up that one a few seconds after mine pounced?" Izzy rolled his eyes, "Pull him back down so we can make sure because if they don't like each other we will have to pick at least one different kitten."
Izzy was trying to be practical but he did like this pouncy tiger that reminded him of his partner. The Maine Coon started to circle and rub Akihiko's legs purring ever so loudly. He sounded like a small motor boat.
"He really know how to tell you what he wants" Izzy reached over and started stroking the tiger, which flopped down on his side as if to say scratch me here...and here...and here. Way too much like Akihiko but was that really a bad thing?

At first, the video didn't seem that odd. It was cute and while Azriel couldn't tell if he was acting or not... at least there wasn't anything damning in the clip.
Least... not until the bat started addressing himself.
"So listen up Katsu because yes I know you'll be watching this... you told Asato-kun the truth about the drugs and he still stayed with you so don't blow it. Don't drive him away because he makes you happy... you just may not remember it."
He told the truth?
WHY?! Why would he do something so stupid?!
If Izo knew...
Katsumi felt immediately sick to his stomach, one hand going to his waist as he watched. The spider would kill him if he knew... and how the hell was he supposed to...
"Aishiteru, Katsumi."
Wait, there were tears in his eyes... he could feel them! Frustration or sadness or joy or anger? The young man didn't know which but he felt them keenly.
Then, Azriel looked directly at Hiroki. Those dark eyes were even darker, narrowed in barely bridled rage... but the tears were there.
"How dare you..." Katsu hissed, standing from where he had been sitting on the edge of the bed, the phone gripped tightly in his hand. "Do you know what this will do?!" the bat shouted, holding up the phone. "Get rid of it! NOW!"
Pissed wasn't even the right word here!
Enraged and frightened was more like it.
Then, true to Koyasu tendencies... Katsumi hurled the phone at Hiroki's head.
"What do you think would happen if HE saw that?! If I really did tell you... oh gods..." again Azriel gripped at his middle, feeling sick. "GET RID OF IT!" he screamed, body shivering in rage and fear.
If Izo knew he'd told... if he knew that he had fallen for his pet...
No... it had to remain and act... had to always be an act...
Sure, Matsumoto seemed to really enjoy Katsu's body and the money he made... but this was a liability! Hiroki knew he'd been drugged and hell the man knew he'd been kidnapped and had illegal surgeries. That alone would be enough to lock Katsu away forever.
And Izo would abandon him in a heartbeat if this was exposed.
"You are my pet. That is ALL you are! You can't be more because... because..." Azriel backed up, his ankles hitting the bed and he crumpled onto the mattress, unable to stop starring at Hiroki. "What have I done?! Why did I tell you?!" Katsu pulled his knees up to his chest and curled into himself, his body tense and ready to spring if need be. "I was acting... I had to be acting... I want Asato and Kaito safe so of course I'd tell myself to keep them from harm but... but... oh gods, I told you..."
Needless to say, Katsumi wasn't taking this revelation very well. He didn't know what to think about his previous feelings for Hiroki because the overriding fear of Izo and of his failure to keep a proper pet were at the forefront of his mind.
He'd failed...
The spider didn't tolerate failure...
Narcissus laughed but he let the Siamese down again. "But he was just begging to be picked back up..." the young tiger teased, watching as the Siamese licked it's paw, eyes never leaving the Coon that was getting rubs.
"And I do not purr." Akihiko defended himself as suddenly the Siamese launched itself onto the upside down Coon... showering the larger kitten with... kisses?
It was licking the other kitten's eyes, oddly enough, as if it were trying to clean it.
"Is that a good or a bad reaction?" the musician asked, kind of baffled by the smaller kitten's behavior.
(((OOC: I figure my dogs do that so why wouldn't a kitten? Mine pounce and clean each other. But I don't know... never had a cat, hehe.)))

What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:- Asato Hiroki
Chairman of Ohayou Productions
The world has....changed again.
Hiroki wasn't expecting this sort of rage so sudden. Maybe frustration...but not throwing things. And instinctively he tried to block himself from getting hit by the phone but failed. Hiroki winced and his hand flew to his chest that stung badly with the sudden movement. This only added to the pain upon his head right above his eye.
The next thing he knew was he had fallen to his knees. and his shaky fingers reached out to clasp the phone. No..he wanted his memories. And he shoved that phone in his pocket even though he really was in pain in more way than one. Those harsh terrible words... It seems like Katsumi he had love in the past, couldn't make Katsumi of the now...avoid hurting him... Hiroki was going add a bruise to the other injuries and his chest felt far worse right now. Did he harm his stitches? Or was it the ache in his heart that made it all hurt worse. Hiroki really didn't want to look at the moment. The idea of going back to the hospital seemed stark after just arriving home.
He became very quiet...very quiet as Katsumi spoke. This wasn't the young man he had grown to love anymore. That man...was gone. Wasn't he...wasn't he?
But he wanted to hope....hope for better. That sweet kitten that he held at night...was still in there. Hiroki had promised the Katsumi that had been, that he would be here...he would try to bring him back. However, he hadn't expected that it would really have happened like it did.
Slowly, he got up and walked near. although not took close. He was in too bad of shape if that young man went beyond throwing a phone at him.
"You told me because you loved me. You told me because you were becoming something more than Izo's pet. You told me because you wanted to build an empire....and make the world your own...make your own life. And...because I loved you." said Hiroki with a slow sigh. "You put me through hell, but you gave me heaven too... And...I won't be telling Izo what I know, I'd never want to see you harmed by him. You were giving me a life I never had...I hoped I was going to give you the same."
He just close enough to set the letter down beside Katsu's hands. Hiroki was sad but there was nothing he could do to bring back memories. He remembered plenty about Akihiko, and the phone thrown at Izzy. Such seemed to be the life of the tigers."Read it...You can get the blood checked if you don't believe that what he wrote is from you to...yourself. I may not be able regain the young man I loved back, but I will do as he asked in this regard and fulfill what promises I made to him...if I am able." Hiroki backed off and moved slowly into the bathroom then closed the door behind him.
He couldn't comfort the Katsu of now. This might have been close to the Katsum he first met. The one that tortured him...he wasn't sure. Everything was an act with the Katsu he had known and while back then, his mind was willing to believe, the man he was now...could not. Could not believe the act...
Looking at the mirror, he pushed his hair back to see the swelling just above his eye. Then he reached down and unbuttoned his shirt. On the undershirt underneath he could see some red leaking through. For a moment, he had to sigh and try not to panic. Life was too short.. "Aki..." he whispered to himself, "Why...why did it have to turn out this way?" He knew Aki wouldn't answer him but as he pressed his fingertips against the mirror he wondered if the man was just beyond it. Staring back at him...with answers he couldn't express.
The Elephant of Ohayou once again felt old...and brokenhearted.

"Oh boy...you're hooked already." Izzy guessed that he'd be the one putting back the tiger if they didn't get along. But he didn't really want to. "Oh yes, you definitely do purrrrrrrrrr."
But before Izzy could say much more about the topic, the Siamese had the Coon held and was licking his face. The Coon struggled for a moment trying to get out from under then Siamese then after a moment the kitten became still as he was cleaned. Then more purrs started rumbling from its throat as it laid there. A paw wiggled in the air as if it were deciding to bat at the Siamese or maybe he was just enjoying the cleaning too much. But as that paw spread out it was easy to see the long tufts of fuzzy hair between his toes.
"That's a good reaction." said Izzy with a smile. "Not sure which cat will be dominant when they grow up. But right now, they are evenly matched."
The Maine Coon sort of laid there lazy while the Siamese worked over his ears. The paw that wiggled fell down on the floor as if the Coon had given up playing for a short time. He lifted his chin so his small jaw got cleaned too.
"I think they are going to get along fine." mentioned Izzy as he watched the two cats. "What do you think?" he asked as he reached over to take Akihiko's hand. "I think they should go home with us." His fingers squeezed Akihiko's and he smiled brightly. "But...I think it might take me a little while to name him...gah. coming up with names is going to be tough. Especially when he reminds me of you!" he giggled under his breath and continued to watch the balls of cuteness on the floor.

Katsumi didn't move a muscle as Hiroki spoke... as the man set that letter down carefully on the bed... or as he left the room and retreated into the bathroom.
'He always does that... doesn't he?' Azriel thought to himself, finally uncurling and looking at the sealed letter.
Dark nails ripped into the envelope and he began to silently read what the Katsu from before had written...
Hi me!
It's weird writing a letter to yourself, ne? -giggle- Anyway, I'm betting by now Asato-kun showed you the video we made... and you probably got mad, ne? I know I would've gotten mad... because I DID get mad. After Izo told me who I was... I was mad at everything... Mad at him... mad at the Koyasu family... mad at Asato-kun who had seemed to guess my true self and yet hadn't asked about it. Everything hurt, you know? Then... I got drunk. VERY drunk. In my drunken stupidity, I showed Asato-kun the recording of our surgery... the first time... when we were awake... He didn't take it very well... and to be honest I thought he would leave... that he would run. So I decided to be honest with him for the first time in my life. I told Asato-kun the plan. All of it really. And... he stayed. We've tortured him and drugged him and manipulated and lied and held him captive like a pet. But he isn't a pet, ne? Not really. Izo gave him to us... but he really wasn't Izo's to give in the first place. Despite it all, I trust Asato-kun not to tell. He doesn't want the world to know what we've done... He doesn't want us in trouble, you know? He... he really does love us... and... I love him too. I hope you love him, post-surgery me. He's important. He isn't just a pet. He's special. He's warm and understanding and he wants us to be happy. Who else can you honestly say wants our happiness? Kaito-kun perhaps... but I think that Asato-kun is the only one who wishes for it deeply. He loves us. So be nice... ne?
Matsumoto Katsumi
Setting the letter down on the bed, Azriel curled up once more, burying his face in his knees. His head hurt... his chest and stomach hurt too...
He really had told Hiroki everything...
If Izo knew...
Tears leaked from the bat's eyes and he gasped softly as the fear overwhelmed him for a moment. Everything had been so nice... all he had to do was keep acting... keep the smile and the warm laugh...
But now...
This wasn't his home... he didn't belong here...
Standing from the bed, Katsu started to leave. But then he stopped. He had no way to get home even if he just wanted to curl up in his bed and await the fate that would come eventually.
It would hurt... he knew it... and not in a good way.
"And...I won't be telling Izo what I know, I'd never want to see you harmed by him."
Those words came back to his mind and dark eyes looked to the bathroom door. Shaking his head, Azriel strode across the room, very lightly knocking on that closed door.
"A...Asato...kun?" Katsu spoke softly. He licked his lips. "Did... did you mean what you said? A... About... About not telling Izo that I've been honest with you?"
A simple question... wasn't it?
"Well if the Siamese is dominant, then it won't be much different than normal, ne?" Akihiko teased as he watched the smaller cat groom the larger.
Once the kitten was satisfied, it licked it's own paw and started grooming it's own ears... before it's little butt wiggled and it pounced on Izzy's hand that had just grasped Akihiko's own.
It had seen movement...
And it wanted to play with said movement.
Narcissus laughed, "Maybe you need to remind me just what my purr sounds like, hmm?" he joked, blue eyes happily watching the kitten that was pawing at his partner. "I think it likes you... or it wants you to keep your hands to yourself. Not sure which. Mmmm... and no you can't name the kitten after me, baka."

What wouldn't I do for King and Country...
Yes Sir!------------------------------------------------}:- Asato Hiroki
Chairman of Ohayou Productions
The world has....changed again.
Inside the bathroom, Asato heard that voice and he sighed as he listened to the question. "Yes...I did." He wouldn't go back on his word that he made to the Katsumi he had adored. He hissed softly as he pulled off his undershirt. He knew he needed to look at his chest but getting this shirt off wasn't pleasant.
"If you want to return home, I'll have the driver take you there." said Hiroki as he dropped the shirt in the sink. Owch.... "I'll understand if you wish to leave." He didn't want to keep Katsu here if he didn't want to stay. Hiroki didn't want anymore damage to himself today to be honest. He wanted just to crawl in bed and wait for Akihiko to bring over the kitten. Maybe he could salvage some of this day...because right now, he wasn't sure what to do about Katsumi, even if he wanted so badly to have his Kitten Fur back.

"Ha! Well, maybe my boy will be dominant." Izzy said with a small smirk. Ok so it would be funny if his kitten was the dominant cat of the house. Akihiko probably would try to coach the Siamese if that were the case. He just knew the man was very competitive.
"Oh...I'll remind you alright..." Izzy leaned up against Akihiko's shoulder but he didn't do anything crazy because it was still a public place after all. "Oh...so I can't name him after you? Mm...Well then. I guess I'll have to think about it for awhile. Something will come to mind." He didn't say he thought about Aki as a name. Might be the wrong choice for this tiger. He wasn't nearly as elegant as that Siamese.
Then Izzy laughed as the Siamese pounced his hand. "Oh no...he better not be a cat that only loves you and hates me." That was entirely possible with cats. Although Izzy hoped that wouldn't occur. He didn't want to be dealing with a cat that clawed. But he reached down and stroked the Siamese. "Short hair...and soft...He'll be a handsome adult one day."
The Maine Coon rolled on to his side and glanced at the Siamese. The larger kitten stood up and hurried over trying to also get attention from those hands. His little mouth opened and he started mewing right away. "I think he's going to be a talker." He laughed thinking that this cat did have a lot of Akihiko qualities. "So what do you think. Are these the ones or do you want to see others?" Izzy had pretty much settled on this Maine Coon. Little did he know tthis larger kitten was going to be a huge cat.

Black nails curled into a fist as Katsu sighed softly. "No... I thought I did but... You haven't betrayed me and... and you've had every right to. You know what I did and... Gomen..."
Azriel opened the bathroom door without asking and stepped inside.
"I should trust that... Asato-kun?" Katsumi tilted his head to the side slightly, seeing the bandage from the stripped off shirt.
Carefully he walked forward, lithe fingers gripping to Hiroki's arms. "Hold still." the vocalist whispered. Very slowly, he began to unwrap the bandage. "It needs a new one... do you have any extras?" the bat asked, peeling away the last of the bandage and tossing it into the sink with the discarded shirt.
Dark eyes zeroed in on the healing stitches and the slight bloody stream trailing from it.
"I did this... didn't I?" Azriel asked, glancing up at the older man for a moment. Then... well he did something rather odd... though then again, perhaps not so odd for the bat.
Katsumi pressed his lips to the wound gently and kissed it. He could feel the stitches cleanly... then his tongue flickered out and began to lick up the escaped blood.
About two minutes later, once the area was pretty much blood free, Azriel pulled away and started opening cabinet after cabinet until he found what he sought.
Spray-able disinfectant...
"This will hurt." Katsu warned before spraying the area. He took a dry soft washcloth blotting the area completely dry before spraying it a second time. "Now... where are your bandages?" he asked.
It was as if their earlier conversation simply didn't exist anymore.
Hiroki was hurting.
Katsumi wouldn't let him be in pain.
"He'll love you because he'll get in trouble if he doesn't." Akihiko spoke, carefully picking the Siamese up into his arms and then setting the kitten on Izzy's shoulder.
The small furball gripped onto that shoulder then started batting at Izzy's braids.
"See? I think he just wanted to get to your hair. It's like string." Narcissus smiled, taking the Coon into his hand this time and raising it up to look him in the face. "Are you going to love Ruki?"
The kitten mewed and threw it's arms out to the side as if it were saying 'hug!' all at the same time. Laughing, Akihiko nodded to his partner. "Yes. These two are perfect. But names... that's going to be hard, you know? Hmmm... we need to name them soon so they'll learn their names but... well, just look at Asato's cat. It doesn't have a name yet. Which reminds me... we need to drop the little guy off tonight."

"Trust?" Hiroki was looking in the mirror trying to figure out what to do next, "I didn't lie to him...I'm not lying to you." Azriel had come into the bathroom and his eyes glanced away from the mirror to the younger man. He really wasn't certain if he felt comfortable with Azriel right now but he held still when requested. A part of him was trained after all.
He winced as the bandage came fully off and bit his bottom lip when Azriel asked the next question and slowly nodded his head, "I tried to move...too fast." He didn't mention the phone. He didn't need to.
Hiroki eyes held surprise as Azriel kissed his wound tenderly and started licking up the blood. Inside his injured soul shuddered from the pain of what he lost...the pain of what he desired. And he didn't say anything nor did he move. He couldn't hold this young man like he could hold Katsumi...This wasn't Katsumi.
"Ah...owchie!" Hiroki complained as the spray covered the wound. He really hated medication but after the past few weeks he was almost numb to it from all the stuff that had been done to his body. "My bandages are in the extra bag they sent home with me. Out in the bedroom."
He didn't poise any questions of his own. He didn't want to add to the pain either he or Azriel was feeling at the moment. Life wasn't going to be easy for them and he would have to accept that.

"Oh...shoot. He does seem to like my hair a little much!" Izzy steeled himself when the kitten pulled a braid by accident. His fingers went up and lightly stroked the kitten. "You're going to be so much trouble aren't you. Do you think you can teach him to sleep in your hoodie too?
"Ah...he wants a hug. Look at that belly. I don't think he's a runt." Izzy smirked as then reached up to take the Siamese off his shoulder and put him into his lap. "Well if these are the two, then we better get all the paper work done. We'll be given a voucher to get them fixed when they are old enough. If we want to. Might be a good idea so they don't learn to spray."
Then he tapped a finger to his lips, "Mm...yes, we've got to get that little guy there tonight...and get these guys home and pick up a scratching post and cat beds. I bought Hiroki's kitty a black cat bed. He didn't have one from what I could tell."
Izzy got up lifting the Siamese and handing him to Akihiko. "You carry the kittens and I'll fill out the paper work while you see their vet here for their check up. Ok?" He opened the door and waved to the older woman who was walking by with a large bag of cat food. "We would like these two little guys."
